Adoption in Ireland is governed by the Adoption Act 2010. Here’s an overview of the legal process:

Step 1: Eligibility: You must meet the eligibility criteria, such as age and marital status, to adopt.
Step 2: Application: Submit an adoption application to the Adoption Authority of Ireland.
Step 3: Assessment: A thorough assessment will be conducted by the Authority to ensure suitability as adoptive parents.
Step 4: Adoption Order: If approved, an adoption order will be made, and you will gain full parental rights and responsibilities.
Consult a solicitor for further advice on the adoption process and ensure your rights are protected.
